So if you're only roasting once or twice a year, we say skip buying a roasting pan and see if one of these alternatives will work for you instead. The big advantage of a roasting pan is that it's big, literally. A standard roasting pan can fit a 16-pound turkey with no problem. But many of us don't actually need to be roasting a 16-pound turkey, and a smaller turkey will fit quite easily in some of the cookware we already have.
The rule of thumb is that you want to be able to sit on your ball with your legs at a 90-degree angle or slightly more, but not less. Use these guidelines when you buy a fitness ball: If you are 4'11 - 5'4, get a ball that is 55cm. If you are 5'5 - 5'11, get a ball that is 65cm.
Take a running start. Aim for a bottom-right panel on the ball. Place your planting foot (left foot if you kick with right, and vice versa) at a 45 degree angle towards the ball. Take your footwear off and look at your foot. Feel the inside of your shooting foot. Feel just below the end of your big toe bone. Now move another 3â4 to 1 inch (1.9 to 2.5 cm) towards your ankle.
